My Weird Life

   Chapter 269 Opening the Temple (1) (12)

   When the sun is about to rise to the mid-heaven,

  Three fat mules pulled three platoons to the open space in front of the bamboo forest.

  The bamboo forest behind the clearing has been cut down,

  The felled bamboo and wood were cut into strips. More than a dozen old people from Qingshi Nianzi Village distinguished strips of different lengths and widths and intertwined them, as if they were going to use these strips to weave something.

  The men, women and children of the village gathered in the open space,

   Either give a hand to help, or get together to chat.

   At this time, seeing three big mules dragging a row car parked in the open space, people stopped their movements one after another.

   He kept his eyes on the bulging sackcloth pockets that were as high as hills on the platoon.

  —They all got the news that Li Yueshan conveyed to the chief,

   Naturally clear, those bulging linen pockets contain the food they desperately need right now!

  Su Wu and Li Zhuer jumped out of the platoon car,

  The former took down a large box from the front of a platoon, dragged the box with the latter, and dragged it under a square table.

   "Unload the grain here, unload it here!"

  Li Yueshan greeted Mi Zhuang's man,

   A few guys got his instructions and hurriedly unloaded the grain from the platoon to a wooden water tank-like object,

  The wooden water tank is covered with a lid,

   There is only a fist-sized hole in the middle.

   It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see what was inside.

   "Everyone is here to help,

   Help the old man unload the food! "Li Yueshan saw that many young men from Qingshi Nianzi Village were ready to move, so he called them all together and asked them to help load and unload food.

"okay!"

   "All go, all go!"

   "Master Zhanzao has spoken, how can we do our best!"

  The young men were noisy, and gathered around the three platoons, unloading bags of grain from them, and carrying them to the place designated by the fat old man.

   Over a thousand catties of grain, carried by a group of young men playfully,

   In the blink of an eye, they all moved out of the platoon.

   Then,

  Su Wu paid the final payment to the principal sent by Mi Zhuang: "I paid one tael of silver earlier, this is the balance of seven taels or eight, you weigh it."

   "Eh, okay, okay.

  Thank you guest officer, thank you guest officer. "

   Looking at the decorations around the open space, the master bowed his back, holding the silver ingot Su Wu handed him in both hands,

   Juggling out a small scale from behind,

   put the silver ingot on the weighing pan,

   Slightly fiddle with the small scale, so that the scale rod is placed horizontally,

   Then he squinted and looked at the numbers on the scale rod, his smile deepened: "Guest officer, you are refreshing, it is seven taels of eight coins, it's not bad at all, thank you guest officer, thank you guest officer!"

  The principal bowed to Su Wu nonstop and thanked him.

   After that, the two sides said goodbye,

  Mizhuang's mule dragged two platoons and went straight away,

   There was only one platoon car left in the open space—it was the platoon car that Su Wu and Li Zhuer pushed when they went to the market, not Mi Zhuang.

   "Wild boar son, you're good!"

   "I've seen it long ago, Boarko must be a promising person in the future!"

   "Ashe, you can give my family a little more food later. When you were young, I even held you..."

  Su Wu originally came from Qingshi Nianzi Village,

  The villagers are all gathered here, and there are naturally many people who know him.

  The villagers all felt that the wild boars at this time were completely different from before, and they dared not speak for a while.

   Until the first person spoke to Su Wu,

  The rest became more courageous, and they all spoke out to Su Wu,

   What's more, he had already handed Su Wu the rice sack he had prepared, and he was going to ask him to open a small stove for himself first, so that he could bring some rice grains back home.

  The crowd cheered around Su Wu,

   put forward various demands,

  Su Wu's face did not change, and was about to say something.

   Li Yueshan shouted from behind him with a displeased voice: "Don't gather here and make a fool of yourself!

   He has now changed his name to Li Wu, he is my eldest disciple,

   It's not some wild boar, wild dog in your mouth!

   Don't even try to coax him to send more food to your family—don't care how much he owes you before, when one of your family eats a meal, from when he replaces the men and pillars of your respective families, and goes to deliver rice to Qi at night,

   He and you already owe nothing to each other!

not to mention,

   If he hadn't begged me to buy some food for you this time,

   Do you still want to share the food?

   Pick up donkey dung in the ground! "

  Li Yueshan scolded the surrounding villagers mercilessly,

   even put all the credit on Su Wu.

   Those villagers who gathered were afraid of the fat old man's identity as "Master Palm Stove", and because the irony contained in Li Yueshan's words almost overflowed, they couldn't refute them.

   So they all dispersed.

   Don't dare to harass Su Wu again.

   "Come, Ah Wu, come here." Li Yueshan patted Su Wu on the shoulder.

  Su Wu turned back and followed him towards the temple,

   Only saw the smiling face of the master.

   Master and apprentice entered the temple.

  The rag used to isolate the space and block the sight in the big temple has been removed.

  The mattress on the ground is also gone,

   There are only Li Yueshan and Su Wu in the temple.

   "Master, this time I bought twelve stones of grain, and spent a total of eighty-two-eight coins.

   At the blacksmith Zhu, he fought a few soldiers and three new sets of cooking utensils. Uncle Zhu said that the iron utensils were enough to pay for the money.

   But I think the quality of the weapons he made is not bad,

   gave him five coins.

   Later, I bought a copper bracelet for Li Zhuer..." Su Wu handed the remaining copper coins to Li Yueshan,

  Li Yueshan waved his hand, but said, "You can keep the rest of the money yourself."

   He looked at Su Wu with a smile: "I asked you to buy a bracelet for Pearl. Did you buy it for her? I see that she is wearing a copper ring on her hand. She is very precious."

"Yes,

   bought it. "Su Wu blinked and replied without changing his face.

   "You also bought a thimble for Li Qingmiao?

   A pair of longevity locks for Xiuxiu and Gouzuzi? "Li Yueshan was still smiling.

   But Su Wu suddenly felt a chill surge after his smile,

  “…”

   He did not speak.

   "You son of a bitch!"

  Li Yueshan glared at Su Wu fiercely: "I don't know if your head is really not enlightened, or is it pretending not to be enlightened?!

  I asked you to buy it for Pearl,

  You carry other juniors and juniors, just buy a bracelet for Pearl,

   Bring all the other juniors and juniors,

   What's the point of this copper bracelet? "

   "Master, it's not good to favor one over the other. It's easy to create a gap between the younger brother and the younger sister, which would be a major disaster." Su Wu replied solemnly.

  “…”

"Forget it!"

  Li Yueshan waved his hand angrily,

   is no longer obsessed with enlightening this stupid disciple and enlightening him.

   He turned and said: "When the incense burner on the offering table outside burns to the end, it is noon, and then I immediately start frying the big monster and open the temple to make it dirty.

  You will follow the old man later,

  Don't leave an inch,

do you know? "

"understood."

   This kind of thing, even if Master wants to force Su Wu to leave, he will not leave,

   Must wait until you see the complete set of procedures.

   "The matter of distributing food to the villagers,

   Just leave it to Qingmiao and Pearl to do it.

  You don't interfere,

   Lest they blackmail you with your **** past. "Li Yueshan said as he walked out of the temple, Su Wu followed closely behind.

   The fat old man walked out of the temple,

   looked back at Su Wu: "You bought them all,

   Don't you think about buying something for the old man? "

  Su Wu grinned,

   took out a copper pipe from his pocket and handed it to Li Yueshan: "I got some scrap copper at the blacksmith's shop and made a copper smoke pot for Master."

   "This smoke pot looks weird..."

  Li Yueshan took the pipe,

   took a closer look,

   suddenly grinned.

   He also took out a bronze button not the size of his thumb from his arms and threw it to Su Wu: "You remember to buy something for the old man, and the old man can't leave you.

   This thing is for you! "

  Su Wu took the Indian Button,

   turned over and looked,

  The four characters 'Yinxi Palm Stove' are engraved on the seal seat.

   He took Inu in the palm of his hand and clenched his fist.

   in the open space,

  Three firewood stoves are placed in the shape of a 'pin'.

  The eyes of the stove were all red and burning.

  The villagers of Qingshi Nianzi Village gathered around the open space and talked to each other, making the crowd buzzing.

   Being in it, can't help but make your brains buzz.

   In the middle of the three firewood stoves,

   There is an offering table.

  In the incense burner on the offering table, the incense sticks have been burned to the roots, less than a finger long from the incense ashes below.

   Noon is approaching.

  Li Yueshan assigned tasks to his disciples,

  The dumb girl Xiuxiu and the dog left one responsible for the fire, and the other responsible for carrying the firewood;

  Qingmiao and Pearl guard the rice boxes and distribute food to the villagers.

   Li Wu, the eldest disciple he valued most, now only needs to be by his side, and he doesn't have to do anything himself.

   The fat old man saw that the incense stick was about to burn out,

   took out the pottery altar from under a table in the back,

   The frying oil in the jar swayed gently with his hands, making an empty sound inside the jar.

   "Tanjiacun, this terrifying creature is worth 327 coins.

   To fry such a big bug, you need to prepare more than 37 catties of frying oil.

   We have enough oil for frying in our jar. "

  The fat old man patted the big pottery altar that he was squatting on the stove. Taking advantage of the free time, he passed on various experiences to Su Wu: "Frying the big trick, opening a temple to make it dirty, you need to set up an altar,

   made divine clothes,

  Standing the gods.

  The bamboos that were cut down were used as altars and clothes.

   As the temple blessing of the **** attendant, it has also been selected before.

   Now the time has come,

   Start to fry the big monster! "

  Li Yueshan watched the roots of the incense burnt out,

   Immediately unplug the pot,

   Holding the clay pot, pouring tons of black grease into the firewood pot,

   pour oil on one side,

   shouted to the onlookers: "Put down the offering table,

  The altar stands up! "

The voice of    landed,

   A few young men hurriedly walked out of the crowd. They lifted the offering table with all their hands and feet, and carried the offering table like a gust of wind to a place far away from the open space.

   Then, a few more old men trembled and moved a round bamboo table that was not much bigger than the offering table, but much lower, to the center of the three-eye firewood stove.

  —this is the altar.

   "Burn oil! Burn oil!"

  Li Yueshan took the new spatula handed over by Su Wu,

   Measured it in his hand and looked at Su Wu in surprise,

   then shouted to Xiuxiu.

   Xiuxiu's presence in the stove team has always been very low,

   But the fat old man liked her very much,

  I like to take her with me when I do everything.

  The dumb girl is also hard-working and hard-working.

  Although he can't speak, he is agile but not inferior to the dog.

   Before Li Yueshan gave an order,

   She had already picked up a bundle of firewood and filled it into the stove.

  Boom!

   The already red eyes of the stove,

  Because of the addition of this bundle of firewood, tongues of fire erupted immediately, surrounding the firewood, and a golden red flame was triggered, rolling along the bottom of the pot!

The temperature rises!

   in a firewood pot,

   The jet-black oil surface immediately rippled with layers of ripples.
